Both champions are ranged (Ahri at 550, Zoe at 550), so the lane is decided by cooldowns rather than reach.
magic damage sits on both sides of this lane, which simplifies what Ahri and Zoe build against each other. Ahri opens on 590 health and 21 armour, Zoe on 630 and 21. Ahri scales to 2358 health by 18 while Zoe reaches 2432. Base attack damage is 53 against 58, so Zoe wins the raw auto-attack exchange.
